NOZZLE Filed July 27, 1932 Patented July 31, 1934 UNITED STATES PreNr OFFICE The invention relates generally to improvements in nozzles and makes use of novel arrangements in connection therewith by providing on the body of the nozzle a helical coupling thread, havl ing a sharp cutting edge with the turns of the thread spaced a substantial distance apart to form flat surfaces therebetween, whereby it can be screwed into a hose and held firmly in place therein by the coupling thread being imbedded in the grooves cut thereby in the walls of the hose or other casing, and by providing on the rim of a nozzle a helical coupling thread adapted to receive a sprinkler or other attachment, and by further providing in a nozzle a fluid passage with j varying dimensions along its length to provide an outlet orifice and a larger interior, with devices therein whereby a spray effect is produced in the water or other uid ejected therefrom. These arrangements constitute new and novel methods for coupling a nozzle to a hose or to a sprinkler or other attachment, and for producing a spray effect in the water or other fluid ejected therefrom.

An object of the invention is to provide a nozzle having combined therewith a coupling device for attachment into a hose, which will eliminate the additional couplings, clamps; screws or washers necessary in the methods now generally used nection to a hose and a head having a rim provid-4 ed with a coupling adapted to receive a sprinklerl vj or other attachment.

Another object is to provide a nozzle having al fluid passage with varying dimensions along its length to provide an outlet orice and a larger interior, with devices therein whereby a spray effect is produced in the water or other fluid ej ected therefrom.

Another object is to provide a nozzle with side grips whereby a secure grip can be obtained thereon by which pressure can be exerted to forcibly.

vscrew it into a casing or over a coupling.

Another object is to provide a nozzle of unusual type with length shorter than its width, provided with side grips and having a fluid passage with varying dimensions along its length to provide an outlet orice and a larger interior, with devices therein whereby a spray effect is produced in the water or other fluid ejected therefrom.

Other objects will appear in the following description. 1

The drawing illustrates the preferred embodiment of my invention as reduced to practice but as conditions concurrent with use of the device will necessarily vary it is to be understood that various minor changes in detail and construction, proportion or arrangement of parts, may be resorted to when desired without forfeiting any of the advantages of my invention as described herein.

The sides of the body may be oi uniform diameter as shown or tapered down to a smaller end.

In Figure 7 is shown a nozzle with head l, of the type as shown in Figure 3, with flat face 2, provided with side grips 3, and inclined sides 5, having a fluid passage le with varying dimensions along its length to provide an outlet orice l2 and a larger interior 15 with a shoulder 16 therein for a plate 17 disposed thereon, with lportions spaced from the wall of the passage whereby separate streams of water or other iiuid are created which when meeting cause centrifugal motion at the outlet orice whereby a spray eifect is produced in the water or other Viiuid ejected therefrom.

In Figure 8 is shown a nozzle having a head l, with a flat face 2, provided with side grips 3, and with a iiat annular peripheral washer seat i around saine, va rim 1G with a helical coupling thread l1 thereon adapted to receive a sprinkler or other attachment, and a body 6 terminating in a tapered end 7 .and carryingr thereon a helical coupling thread 8, having a sharp cutting edge with the turns yof the thread spaced a substantial distance apart to form iat surfaces 9 vtherebetween, whereby it can be screwed into a hose and held rmly in place therein Aby the coupling thread being imbedded in the grooves out there-- by in the walls of the hose casing.
